A low starting yield can take decades to catch up, even with a projected and sustained high DGR. At any rate, I like to have some of each in my portfolio (what I like to call "yield diversity). So as long as I buy some higher DGR names also, I am happy to increase my exposure to a high (but stable) yielder like T, even if the DGR is going to be sluggish.
I'm glad I could help you reach a decision
